Abstract
Abstract A multibroadcast receiver 1 comprises a stereo receiving unit 4, an extractor 7 for taking out information about an identification code related to the contents of a broadcasting program and a necessary character code or the like from a data signal in a broadcasting radio wave, a print unit 10 for recording the information extracted from the extractor 7 thereon, an insert portion 12 for inserting a card 11 therethrough, a reader 13 for reading a predetermined identification code recorded on the card 11 inserted in the insert portion 12, and a controller 8 for checking the identification code on the card 11 against the identification code extracted from the extractor 7 and recording by the print unit 10 the necessary information taken out of the data signal on the card 11 in accordance with the result of check. Further, the controller 8 checks data inputted through a selectively-provided key input unit 16 against predetermined data taken out from the extractor 7.
